Tsunami Relief Ride and BBQ May 28 2011, 11:22pm via studio343.jp

Today HAJET Outreach Project in association with Groove Cycles held its third Niseko/Kutchan BBQ Bike Ride Bonanza! The event raised 80,000 yen for the people of Iwate prefecture still living in relief shelters.

Each participant paid 3,000 yen which included a BBQ after the ride with the remainder of the cash going to the relief fund.

The group of 20 + riders set off from Hirafu just after 10 and cruised up past Hanazono to the Weiss Hotel about 14km’s away.

The support team were EVERYWHERE ! cheers

The return leg of the ride back to Hirafu was a bit easier – mainly downhill.

Alistair really out did himself by garnering the support of some friends to make the event happen, motivating some participants and the end of the day turning on a treat of an event for a great cause …oh’ and the food was delicious.

Way to go !!!
